I couldn't find anything that deals with this issue so I thought I'd post it here:

Since emule 0.49a a CAPTCHA function has been implemented that prevents Plus users from firing up a chat with that client. Connection attempts produce the following message:

"In order to avoid spam messages, this user requires you to solve a captcha before you can send a message to him. However your client does not supports captchas, so you will not be able to chat with this user."

I can see that few people use the chat function but I felt it sometimes was useful to ask people for info or to have a look at their file priority settings etc. Any plans to remedy that problem?
